Romans 5:3-5

We boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

This has been a difficult summer for many people. The bible verses from Romans 5 remind us that suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, and character produces hope. I think most of us are ready for some hope! Here are some ideas of places to find hope in your community and world:
 

Community & World

  • Get involved in social justice
  • Participate in dismantling racism
  • Do community service
  • Encourage someone that is doing good work
  • Support the local food pantry
  • Volunteer at a homeless shelter
  • Send financial support to a non-profit
